But while most tourists just pass through to take a selfie, do some shopping or see a show, photographer Adam Gray spent a full day from sunrise to sunset in the area once dubbed \"The Crossroads of the World, capturing the people and characters that reside and pass through the square. They include everyone from fancy dress performers dressed as superheroes, cartoon characters and the Statue of Liberty, to street acrobats, cleaners, ticket sellers, the famous Naked Cowboy, armed police and homeless people living in the glare of the giant advertising signs. Formerly known as Longacre Square, Times Square was renamed in 1904 after The New York Times moved its headquarters to the newly erected Times Building. The area stretches from West 42nd to West 47th Street and is the hub of the Broadway Theater District and a major center of the world's entertainment industry. \n\nPHOTOGRAPH BY Adam Gray / Barcroft Images (Photo credit should read Adam Gray / Barcroft Media via Getty Images / Barcroft Media via Getty Images)", "Image Copyright": "Adam Gray / Barcroft Media"}
